> Section 508 Requirement for link components that use javascript events.
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MYFACES-274
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-274
> Project: MyFaces
> Type: Improvement
> Versions: 1.0.7 beta, 1.0.8 beta, Nightly Build, 1.0.9 beta
> Reporter: Mark Faine
> Priority: Trivial
>
> A corresponding redundant event handler should be added to all components
> that use javascript events. The event mappings are listed below.
> OnClick -> OnKeyPress
> OnMouseDown -> OnKeyDown
> OnMouseUp -> OnKeyUp
> OnMouseOver -> OnFocus
> OnMouseOut -> OnBlur
> OnDblClick -> OnKeyDown
> OnMouseMove -> (no equivalent)
> OnDragDrop -> (no equivalent)
> This is a change that would help support Section 508 requirements when using
> Myfaces:
> WCAG Priority 2 : Checkpoint 6.4/9.3 [priority 2]
> Section 508 : Section 1194.22 - Paragraph L
> This element uses a device-dependent event handler that does not have a
> redundant device-dependent event handler, as required by both the Section 508
> and WCAG standards. This may be inaccessible to some users of assistive
> technologies who cannot trigger the event because, for example, they do not
> use a mouse. An event handler is a script that runs upon a specified event,
> such as when the mouse is clicked or is moved into a certain region of the
> page. Some event handlers produce purely cosmetic effects. But if an event
> handler results in some substantial information or function, such as
> displaying a pull-down menu, it is important that a redundant input mechanism
> be provided for this element. This is most commonly done by assigning a
> keyboard-based event handler for every mouse-based event handler. Further,
> event handlers should not rely on mouse coordinates, which prevents
> device-independent input. For scripts and applets, page authors should ensure
> that event handlers are input device-independent. For scripts, specify
> logical event handlers rather than device-dependent event handlers.
> Alternatively, page authors should remove the event handlers if they do not
> wish to add a redundant device-dependent one.
